Timber Harvest

In tech we watched a video about timber harvest. In the first video I learned how they used to cut down trees. They cut down tree electric saws so it will take a shorter amount of time. In the second video, I learned how the job of a woodcutter can be dangerous if you are climbing trees or a tree falls on you. In the third video, I could see the difference in how it was more modern. I would want to learn more about the automatic tree cutting machine they used. Finally, in the fourth video I learned the steps of a woodcutter’s job. Overall I liked learning more about trees.

3D printing

There are many benefits to 3-D printing, but most important is that it changes the way we make things. First, 3-D printing helps to make things in a more cost efficient way. For example, in China they used 3-D printing to build houses for people. According to the video, they printed 10 houses for less than $5000. Another example where 3-D printing changes how we make things, is in the medical world. For example, doctors are using patients’ cells to make plastic ears, noses and organs for transplant. Certainly 3-D printing is helping people around the world.

Building

The first week for 7th grade technology we are working on building. Building is mostly having wood and glue then making something. Yes, it is that but there is so much more to building, like using your imagination, creative and knowledge. One time at camp I  had to build a bird house with no instruction and I had to think of what to do but I had to figure it out. I did it using my knowledge and it worked.

Capstone – Working On My Product – #6

Hi! Welcome to Samara’s world today I’m talking about capstone. In capstone you can have a slide show to talk about your topic and also thats what Im talking about.

If you don’t know my topic is assistive technology.

I’m presenting a TEDtalk, which is a slideshow with optional slides. The time has to be 5:00 to 6:00 minutes (you can go over the time).

I chose a TEDtalk because it has the most amount of time and so then I can explain everything in detail. I was going to do an ignite but my I saw what a TEDtalk was then I got interested in a TEDtalk.

To start my script you need a script organizer and for that you needed paragraphs. The paragraphs are for answering my sub questions. The script organizers was writing down the things you want to say, time and the picture for the slide.

The slides were easier than making the script because the script has the slide pictures that you want to add.

The big challenge for me was memorizing my script because their was so much to do.

That it.  Bye : )
